Hi, my name is Jamie (he/him), I’m 16, queer (trans + bi), neurodivergent and majorly obsessed with Doctor Who (and other old sci-fi stuff). I like books (proper ones; no romantasy here) and drawing, and also space.
Have a cool day :)

Luke Skywalker is unnerved.

In the dusty hovel of Ben Kenobi, months after the Empire started to crumble, Luke discovers the diaries of his father, aged thirteen to sixteen.

They had been scratched into flimsi in uneven, sloping script.

It should be a heartwarming find.

An insight into the mind of his father, before he was corrupted, before he fell. The man he has always yearned for. Here, his unfiltered thoughts, the ink long dry.

Instead, it is disconcerting.

It is not the many, many, many love-sick mentions of Padme Naberrie, his mother, that unsettles Luke. They are rather sweet.

It is the loneliness dripping through the pages, unbounded.

And the only one who listens to him is Palpatine.

Not Obi-Wan, his mentor.

Not the Jedi, his carers.

Not Shmi, his mother, whom he was forced to leave behind.

Palpatine.

Luke takes the diaries with him, talks, in jest, about how he had to stop reading because Anakin wouldn't stop going on about Padme every second sentence.

The truth is buried. Unpalatable.

The Jedi gave Anakin to Palpatine because it was politically convenient. The Jedi told him to repress the trauma of a life in bondage. The Jedi criticised Anakin without limitation.

The diaries are the novel of a young, lonely little boy calling out for help.

And no one helped him.

No one helped his father, but his grandmother, but his mother, but Luke.

Luke keeps the diaries.

He is a Jedi. One who will not be sworn to an outdated code, to politicians, to convenience.

Luke traces the mentions of Shmi and Padme scattered throughout the diaries reverently.

He has better models to follow.

Han, Leia and Luke as a trio in the first movie is so funny because Leia and Luke are revolutionaries who have lost absolutely everything and Han is like those guys with a sports car that revs their engines super loudly when they drive through tunnels

Remember when Classic Who decided it wanted to be sexy?

When Turlough got all wet rescuing Peri from drowning:

You’re not, writer of caption, but I’m not altogether onboard with the stripey speedos.

And there was basically a whole planet where I think the law was you had to wear short-shorts:

And even the Doctor…

Oh, well, yes, I admit I’d forgotten that waistcoat. Let’s try that again. Even the Doctor rolled up his sleeves and showed us his braces:

Yeah. Pleant of Short-Shorts Fire. We remember you.

thinking about how in the stones of venice charley goes “but she loved him, of course she stepped into the flame,” like it’s so obvious, like if you love someone it’s unimaginable that you wouldn’t step into the flame after them and how from that line which is so early on in her story it’s so obvious that there was never any question of whether or not she was going to follow them doctor into the divergent universe because she loves him and in her worldview you don’t let the person you love step into the flame alone AND thinking about how she views this romance that could “lay waste to a whole city” as kind of fantastical while the doctor views it as “a little inconvenient” but he’s the one who almost lets the universe be destroyed out of love for her

Sherlock Holmes is the funniest case of “doomed by the narrative” ever. Doomed by the narrative and destined to die young bc the creator hated him, and then the fans literally bullied him into un-dooming the narrative, writing about him for another thirty years, and giving the character a canonical happy ending where he retires to the countryside and keeps bees. Funniest shit ever.

WE LOVED HIM SO MUCH HE GREW OLD

STOP THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUNNY POST

this happened to my good friend the Tenth Doctor

I love the doctors stupid grin at the beginning of the stones of blood because the third segment of the Key to Time is on earth. The face of a man about to finally subject Romana to his special interest

Somewhere aboard the TARDIS, there’s a book that every companion has added to over time. It filled with the tips, tricks, and little secrets you need to travel with the Doctor. If the TARDIS likes you enough it may just appear in your room.

It contains helpful guides such as:

- how to get alien slime (and various other substances out of your hair)

- how to check foods are not only edible but taste nice (don’t trust the doctor)

- the top 10 items you should always have on your person

- good lies to tell when caught somewhere your not supposed to be

- how to sleep in a jail cell 101

one time my sister and i were walking up the stairs and heard a bunch of banging noises coming from an apartment, and she turned to me and said "aborted neighbor". and i was just like. i'm glad we're the same kind of terminally online and i know exactly what you are referencing because otherwise this would sound insane.

I’ve had a bad first week of 2026 and wanted to go back to something that brought me happiness at one point, while practicing the sketchy style I wanted to do more of this year.

Tegan, Nyssa, Turlough, and Adric

they should make a video game where you play as an autistic character and there is a meter that shows you how close to a total meltdown you are due to the overwhelming stimuli and another matter that shows you how much of a weirdo you look like to others and you have to try to balance between having a meltdown and completely masking. and also you’re trying to solve a murder or something

I think it should add challenges but not be game breaking if you decide to sacrifice weird meter for meltdown meter.
